Google Search

For this Blog assignment I used the search tool Yahoo! This is is a tool that I have not used before. I normaly use the search tool google. I normally search with google simply because I am accustom to it and because I believe it mainly stays on topic with your results. I decided to search for baby names to see what type of results I would recieve and knowing that it would most likely give me a wide varities of results.
As I expected from being a popular subject to search the top 10 and even more were all relevant to my request. The URL of the first hit I received was http://www.babycenter.com. At the top of the page the information at the top right said that I was looking at page one of about 40,800,000 in approximately 0.08 seconds.
I may be able to do a number of things to reduce the number of hits that I receive by typing in more specific search words. Such words may include gender specfic names, most popular names, name meanings or even by perhaps even knowning the type of background you want your babies name to include.

CISC

First of all it took me FOREVER to even figure out how to log into
this blogger. Finally after about 30 mins. of attempting to sign into
our group, it allowed me. Chapter 1 seems simple enough, I've glanced
through it to review the main subjects. I have a fairly good general
knowledge of computers and tend to catch on fairly quickly when it
comes to learning how to use systems, so hopefully that will apply to
this class. However, I know and understand nothing about the hardware
and inter workings of computers, so hopefully I won't need to know too
much about those type of things.

Within the first chapter they discuss they many products that people
now-a-days tend to own. I myself own a cell phone, a laptop and a
regular computer desktop. I work as a cashier and a full time student,
so I'm basically using a computer for the good part of everyday. I for
one would be lost without them, I've grown up with the generation who
has never really had to live without these types of technological
advances. My mother and father on the other hand, seem to just barely
understand how to open up their e-mail accounts and search for items
on-line.

WOW! Second exciting nite of CISC101!!!

This is my first post. I don't really don't get why we have to blog about class, especially on the second day when I don't have two paragraphs worth of stuff to write. I took computer classes in high school such as Word, Excell, Powerpoint, etc. Though other than that I don't know much about computers. Monday night we logged onto our "mycourses" and the teacher showed us what that was all about, and how to look at the things that are posted there for her class and others that may be listed.
Not completely sure if I'm going to enjoy this class or not, but it doesn't really matter too much because I have to take it in order to even make it up to main campus in the Fall. I haven't read the first chapter of the book yet, because we have until Monday and I tend to be a procrastinator, so I can't comment on anything there. But class is about to begin so I'm going to finish up with that, goodnite!
